After the Legend Chapter 64: On the surface


The next morning, after breakfast, Minna went to Yotan's housekeeper to inquire about Corbyn.

The housekeeper thought it was a little strange, but answered her: "You mean that Bath boatman? He lives in the lower town, which is far from here. The environment is dirty and messy, how can a young lady like you go there? If you have something to ask him, just send someone to call him."

Minna was about to tell the reason, but soon remembered that the housekeeper didn't seem to like Corbyn very much. If he directly said that he wanted to send money to Corbyn, he didn't know what he would say. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Uh... when I was in the holy mountain that day, Corbin escorted me down the mountain back to the boat and took good care of me, so I thought... I wanted to give him a gift as a thank you."

"So it is." The housekeeper disagreed, but still smiled, "You are so kind, this is just what he should do. But since you want to see him, I will ask someone to call him. "

"Thank you, Uncle Steward." Ming Na smiled and thanked her. At this time, she heard footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, it was Sibilla, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Since the two of them had a falling out yesterday, Sibilla has been making a lot of noise in the room, and she doesn't even eat, and Yotan has no time to eat in order to coax her daughter, so Minna's lunch, dinner and Today's breakfast is eaten alone in my room. She didn't want to meet Sybila and quarreled again, but their rooms were adjacent to each other. When she left the room just now, she made special observation to make sure that she would not run into each other, so she came out.

Sibilla also looked uncomfortable, pouted and shook her head, with a look of indifference, but soon turned her head reluctantly, and said weakly: "Good morning."

Ming Na's eyes widened, Sibilla actually greeted her? ! This is amazing! She was so surprised that she didn't speak very neatly: "Morning, good morning."

Then, Sibilla's eyes floated to the ceiling: "The weather is really nice today."

"Uh... ah, yes, yes." Minna was a little dazed. The housekeeper on the side cautiously restrained the shocked look on his face, bowed his head respectfully and stood beside him, trying to weaken his sense of existence.

Probably because the scene was too weird, Sybila also noticed it, cleared her throat, and said, "Yesterday... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have broken the gift you gave." His eyes were looking at other direction.

Ming Na was shocked again, but this time she was not in a daze, and immediately responded: "No, there is something wrong with me, I shouldn't have quarreled with you."

"Then..." Sibylla still looked at her, "even if we are reconciled?" She casually stretched out a hand.

Minna suddenly remembered the little uncle Ludlow in the elf forest. He was also a little boy who was awkward in his mouth, but was actually a gentle boy (at least on the outside). She smiled slightly and took Sybila's hand.

The scene finally returned to normal, and the housekeeper was quietly relieved. Sibilla seemed to feel the same way, and glanced at the housekeeper: "What were you doing just now?"

"I asked my uncle, the housekeeper, to find someone to call Corbyn for me."

"Corbyn? That Bath slave? What did you want him for?"

"Miss Minna said to send some gifts to Corbyn to thank him for taking care of her when he was in the Holy Mountain." This time it was the housekeeper who answered, and Sibylla was not happy when she heard it: "It's just a Bath slave. , what are you giving him a gift for? First of all, you only gave me a cheap necklace, and no matter what you give him, it must not be worth more than mine! Otherwise... or I will be angry! "

Minna is a little embarrassed. Although she doesn't know how much Corbyn owes others, she made the shell necklace herself, and she didn't spend a single penny. What Sibilla said should not be worth more than hers means that What does that mean?

Seeing Minna hesitating, Sibilla glared: "Are you really going to give him something precious?!"

"Cough, I see, don't be angry." Ming Na hurriedly reassured the other party, she didn't want to fall out with Uncle Youtten's daughter again. There is a lot of hair, must be sad for Sibilla, right? She couldn't give him any more trouble.

As for Corbyn's matter, she only said "I got it" and didn't promise anything, as long as she quietly found an opportunity to give the money to Corbyn without letting Sibilla know.

She was secretly proud of her "smart mind", and Sibilla thought she had really listened to her words, and she was in a better mood, and regained her original attitude: "Let's go out together today? If you give me a lot of pocket money, I can buy whatever I like and ask me to take you shopping.”

Mingna agreed. Since Yutten has said something, she will naturally not shirk. She has been here for a few days in Cameron. She has not seen this country and this city well. .

Camecca City is actually the capital and only city of the island country of Camocca. Apart from it, there are only a few small towns and villages in the entire Camocca country. Most of the places are either mountainous or low-lying areas. The island was originally populated, but in recent decades, they have all migrated to towns or villages on the island.

The city of Cameron is divided into three urban areas, upper, middle and lower. The upper urban area is home to dignitaries, large and medium-sized maritime merchants and foreigners. Among the latter, some came for business, some came for vacation, and some were nobles who made political mistakes or got into trouble in their homeland, coveted the mild climate and remoteness of Camerna from the mainland, and chose this place as exile. Temporary residence abroad. All the inhabitants of Uptown are wealthy, so this is the richest, cleanest, and busiest place in the city.

The so-called well-off people live in Zhongcheng District, including ordinary staff of shipping companies, commercial companies, small maritime merchants, and higher-level crew members, such as captains or first and second mates. Due to the well-developed maritime transportation in Camerga, one in three people is engaged in ship-related industries, so the population of Midtown is quite large. However, compared with the rich, these so-called well-off people or the middle class actually only own their own houses - most of them are wooden houses, only a few shell and stone houses, their families have jobs with relatively stable income, clean Neat clothes can guarantee three meals a day, and occasionally have spare money to buy some meat to eat, that's all.

The lower part of the city is the so-called slum area. Most of the people living here are Cameccans, and there are also a small number of Bass. They live in shabby houses and are barely clothed. They have to feed their families every day. The belly of man runs and toils. For hundreds of years, except for a few people who can make a fortune by their own efforts and chance opportunities and become residents of the central city, most people will be poor all their lives and cannot turn over. Some people can't bear this kind of life, they go down the wrong road and become hooligans, relying on gambling, robbing, stealing and other sidelines to make money. Therefore, the lower city has become the city with the worst public security and environment.

The Yutan's house where Minna lives temporarily is located in the area where the most wealthy people live in the upper city, not far from the market. But this "the most prosperous commercial street in the whole of Camocca" that Sibilla said, in the eyes of Ming Na, who is accustomed to the bustling scene of Shaonan, is not even comparable to the streets of the magic capital, with dozens of shops selling The goods are quite simple, except for a few stores that sell mainland products, most of the other stores sell seafood.

But Minna is interested in the rich variety of seafood. When Xiao Tianjian took her north along the coast, he cooked fish, shrimp, crabs and various seafood for her, so Ming Na wanted to drool when she saw the quality dried fish, scallops, kelp, starfish and other items. Just thinking of the stinking rope that was stuffed into the storage bracelet after soaking in seawater, she finally retained her reason, and only picked out some dried fish, scallops, dried kelp and dried shrimp, which were stored in a wooden box. The servants that Sibyl had brought home were sent home, and when Yotan arranged for the boat to take her back, they would be loaded onto the boat—she had no intention of putting those things in the ring.

In addition to food, she also bought some algae that could be used to make magic potions, and scavenged a lot of shell necklaces as gifts for her cousins. Now she also understands why Sibilla is angry. The shell jewelry of Cameron is so many and beautiful, and it's really cheap. She bought a lot of them and only spent less than three silver coins. No wonder Sibyl Ra would be mad at that necklace.

There are also white linen cloths specializing in Camegasque, which are woven with unique plant fibers on the island and hemp threads. They are stiffer than ordinary cotton cloths. Some cloths are also dyed with local special plant dyes. The colorful threads are woven into patterns, which are very unique and beautiful. This kind of cloth is very popular in Camocca, but it is not very popular with ladies on the mainland, so it is only sold on the island. Minna deliberately chose two horses and planned to make clothes for Winnie.

Only at night, Minna would cut her finger and put something in the ring. Looking at the scars on her fingers, she flattened her mouth and decided to stop relying on the ring. After all, she was more used to using her own storage bracelet.

Minna went shopping for two consecutive days under Sibilla's leadership. She bought a lot of things but didn't spend a lot of money. She was very satisfied and became closer to Sibyl. Although she felt that this new friend was too temperamental and self-willed, she was just spoiled, and she was quite enthusiastic about herself.

There was only one thing that she found strange, that Sibilla seemed to be very interested in the ring on her hand and kept peeking, but as soon as she found out, Sibilla would pretend not to look at it, Talk about other things.

Not only Sibylla, but Uncle Jutten and his accountant often stare at the ring on her hand. The latter did not come often, but he came to visit for two days in a row. He didn't go to talk about business with Yutan, but he always brought Minna some gadgets such as conch shells, small wood carvings, straw monkeys and so on. , then quietly stared at her ring. Oddly enough, Sibylla had no dissatisfaction at all.

Why are they all interested in her ring? Minna was a little puzzled. But when she followed Sibylla to a jewelry store, and the nanny who went with her rejected a black crystal ring recommended by the shop owner because it was not suitable for children, Minna suddenly thought of the reason.

The storage ring left by her grandfather is very simple and simple in appearance. It is a gold ring with a water pattern engraved with a round magic gem. This ruby ​​is actually like an adult woman's thumb nail. size. Grandpa didn't show it when he wore it before, but it was strange for a child like her to wear such a big ring. Sibylla and the others always look at her ring, is that the reason?

In the evening, Minna took out the ring and looked at it again and again, and decided to take it off temporarily, find a sturdy rope and wear it, and hang it around her neck like a necklace.

"What are you doing?" Sibilla leaned over. In the past two days, they have been very close and often get together.

"I'm thinking...it's weird to wear a ring all the time, let's find a string and hang it around your neck." Minna replied.

Sibila stared at the ring for a while, then said, "This is the storage ring Dad said, right? It was given to you by your grandfather, right?"

It's not surprising that Minna thought it was her grandfather who told her old friend Yotan.

Sibilla leaned closer: "I've never seen a storage ring before, and I don't know what it's like to wear it. Could you lend me to wear it for a while? Just a little while."

Ming Na was a little hesitant. Grandpa once said that this kind of storage utensils cannot be easily handed over to others, unless that person can be trusted.

"What? You can't even borrow Dai Dai? It's stingy!" Sibilla rolled her eyes, "You still say that you are my friend, I didn't ask you what magic crystal you want, so I borrowed Dai Dai one. What's the matter for a while? I can't get what's inside!"

That's true. Ming Na thought about it, but she still didn't want to turn her face with Sibilla because of such a trivial matter~IndoMTL.com~ and handed her the ring: "Okay, I'll bring it to you for a while, but don't lose it. ."

"Got it." Sibilla happily put on the ring, and then found that her fingers were a little thick, and the ring could only fit into her little finger, but she didn't care, took a few glances, and whispered, "Also It's not very good-looking." He got up and ran out: "Thank you, I'll ask someone to make you a delicious cake!"

Ming Na called her a few times, but seeing that she never looked back, she had no choice but to go. Soon Sibylla came back, followed by Yotane, whose hair had turned half white in two days. Minna hurriedly got up to greet him, he smiled and nodded: "Sibila asked someone to make a cake, and she ordered the kind she likes. I have already asked someone to deliver today's new orange cake. I heard that Your favorite food, isn't it?"

Minna was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Thank you Uncle Yotan." Turning to look at Sibilla, she was surprised to find that the ring on her hand was missing, and was taken aback: "Sibilla, my ring What?"

"Is this what you're talking about?" Yotan opened his palm, revealing a gold water-patterned ruby ​​ring on the palm of his hand, "You child is really, how can you lend such an important thing to Xi Jinping casually? Billa? She's ignorant, I've taught her a lesson, put the ring away."

Ming Na touched her head and took the ring a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Uncle." She put the ring back on, and suddenly felt a little weird, and took it off again.

"What's wrong?" Yotan blurted out, with a hint of imperceptible tension in his voice.

"It seems... a little loose..." Minna put it on a few more times and felt that the ring seemed to be bigger than before, "It's strange."
